AnonymousI forgot how useful this spell can be. It doesnt scale very well but adds decent damage at early levels. Better yet, for solo play it draws a good amount of fire from enemies and can be used to bait opportunity attack reactions from scarier melee enemies. This thing saved my solo Honor Mode run in Moonrise after a series of bad moves on my part. Thanks little buddy!

is it bugged? upcasting it doesnt seem to buff it in game... even tho text tell each extra lvl of spell is 1d8 dmage and extra 8hp on the weapon...consume the slot but doesnt give a boosted weapon...
a very decent spell pretty much and extra attack for 10 turn based on wisdom usually the best cleric stats

Phenomenal Spell. Took it on my bard in addition to cleric at lvl 6 with magical secrets. Non-concentration, resistant to all damage, does not require the casters bonus actions to manage. Many simple AI enemies will just attack it forever due to omniresistence and it's basically free 6-13 damage per turn (assuming +5 spellcasting). Slamming 2 down on the first round alway makes fights much more manageable. Biggest drawback is that if you summon it on one enemy and they die, it will never reach another enemy unless they're grouped up.

Damage and hit chance for my spiritual weapon are both affected by the wrong modifiers (-1) which the only stat for me is strength

In contrast to everyone else, I think this spell is terrible. Due to the following issues:
1) 20 ft movement speed is much too little. Sometimes I'd cast it near enemies, but the enemies would die or move before the weapon gets it turn. And it is physically incapable of reaching an enemy before the fight ends.
2) it has its own initiative and hitpoints. While this is logical to prevent cheese strategies, it's kind of frustrating to cast it and then having it get destroyed before it's turn gets around.
The only upside is that it's a bonus action and 2nd level spell slot. Later in the game you'll have plenty of 2nd level slots, but the usefulness of a single attack roll with mediocre force damage is not really great at that point.
All in all it has just been a clunky and frustrating spell to use. Desperately trying to reach enemies which never happens. Its only use is a meat shield.

Spell works even if the caster is downed. Extremely efficient for a single lvl2 slot

Do any of the feats affect spiritual weapon like polearm master, alert or sentinel? Because this thing is pure ass. Low movement speed, no dash, low initiative, no attack of opportunity. This has be most useless offensive spell alongside the sacred flame cantrip.

What attack roll does it use? Based on casting character's STR or DEX bonus depending on weapon type?
- Anonymous
Greatsword gives bleed. 2dmg per turn.
Halberd gives bleed. 2dmg per turn.
Maul gives daze. Removes DEX AC bonuses.
Spear gives gaping wounds. +2 Damage per hit.
Trident gives gaping wounds. +2 Damage per hit.
Great Axe gives cleave. 1/2 dmg in AoE attack.

Did they nerf the movement of the spirit weapon? i know for sure it was recently able to walk/fly longer than just 6 meters...

Oh my god why did they buff it. It was already one of the best spells in 5E and they've given it its own action economy.

Does it matter which weapon is choosen? Do they do anything different from each other?

Spiritual weapon not being able to attack the first turn that it's summoned is awful. Takes a full turn before it can begin attacking; two whole turns if it gets put before you in initiative order.

Am i not reading this correctly or is this saying only life and war domain clerics have access to this spell?
In case anyone wondering, you can only have one spiritual weapon up at a time. If you cast again when you have one already, the old one disappears when the new one appears.
